not that the uc davis folks don’t know what they’re doing but it isn’t bottlenecking the gene pool that’s the issue, it’s introducing hermies to the line. at least that’s what i heard 20 years ago, maybe it was wrong then and everyone dropped it. the other reason i suggested running regulars first is to get more than 23 to pop and be able to choose from a larger selection in the first place. then you can pick the best ones and clone them to make fem seeds.
